    I don’t see it as ungrateful, you just have certain expectations now that you’re more seasoned. And they weren’t met so 🤷‍♀️ you gotta do what’s best for your business. I totally see where you’re coming from. And it’s ok to feel the feelings ❤️ you’re doing great! - Sabrina 😁

    Girl I feel you on the $400!!! I feel like people who have an issue with you being semi disappointed with $400 don't realize the MAN HOURS put into making all those products to get that $400. I prepped and prepped for a Black Friday sale that I was hoping would exceed $1k in fact my true goal was $1,200.
    My Black Friday sale was just over $400 for two hours of streaming. I was like WTH ?!?!?!? I cancelled my shows on Saturday because I am handicapped and literally almost SICK due to the hours etc that went into prepping. So I slept on Saturday then I went live on Sunday night which is a usual night for me and OMG ........... I had to call my son to come out and start pulling orders for me as quickly as he could. The number of NEW customers and number of sales was INSANE!! Soooo between the two days I made $1,204!!! Soooooo very thankful, grateful and blessed!! So trust me I feel you on the $400!!! We had a larger streamer go live and raid into our show bringing us another new 38 followers and this is the second time she's done this. The first time she brought us over 300 new followers!!! I am sooo very thankful and blessed. we win some and lose some but everything is a lesson to learn from!

    I totally agree ! I did much better earlier this year at least consistently but the holidays are not what I expected. or at least the markets I picked

    • @SafariStitches
      @SafariStitches  24 дні тому

      This was the first holiday market that didn’t go well, so I think it was an isolated experience, but this is my first full year doing markets so I was expecting ups and downs all year this year while I dip my feet into different markets! I think I was just disappointed with this one because I was expecting some growth from year to year and it just wasn’t there.

    I agree with you, midweek markets are not a good idea. I wouldn’t go as a customer, and certainly not as a vendor.

    Do I spy Hogwarts house colors with those ear warmers? I love that you provide all the patterns in your google doc! With markets that play music, or are just loud, would you consider voicing over recorded footage or playing non copywrite music?

      @@DeliciousSmores you do 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 and I do sometimes play music that is either royalty free or has no copyright, but usually if I record anything while at a market, it’s a sales update or something along those lines, so I could start doing some voice overs with sales updates and show my table at the less busy events!

    May I ask what brand of yarn do u use on the knitting machine. I just bought a sentro and most of my acrylic yarn isn’t working. Some of my loops and thread worked and big twist worked great. But is split so bad I couldn’t get it off of the machine without dropping stitches.
